  • Ep 31: Korean Adoptee Interview (Part Two - 'Return Of ALINE GIORDANO' / "Return To Seoul")
    PART TWO ('Return Of Aline') - Following on from the first part of this interview [in Episode 30], Jay continues his discussion with Korean adoptee, Aline Giordano about the recently released - and much acclaimed - film by Davy Chou, “Return To Seoul”, a film revolving around a Korean adoptee from France but finding herself [perhaps in more ways than one] in South Korea.

    As before, Aline and Jay also branch off onto other topics, such as Aline’s work, her first time visiting Korea, creativity and how it can feel to be an adoptee. Of course, the conversation always 'returns' to the subject of the movie "Return To Seoul”, its music and music in general & music as therapy.

    Aline also tells us about whether she will ‘return to Seoul’ herself and also talks more about her Gestalt therapy work. Furthermore, that film’s use of translation & of more than one language is touched on, as is Aline & Jay’s ability or non-ability to learn multiple languages.

    [It’s probably worth noting that the audio (and the video) quality is better on Aline’s side rather than mine - I’ve tired to make it as audible as possible though...] #ReturnToSeoul #RetouràSéoul #retouraseoul #리턴투서울 #KoreanDiaspora #koreanfrench #frenchkorean #davychou #parkjimin #ohkwangrok #AllThePeopleIllNeverBe #koreanadoptee #koreanadoption #adoptee #adopteevoices #thecure

  • Ep 28 [S2]: From Incheon (인천) Into Ikseon-dong (익선동)! [JAY In SEOUL or "Calamity Jay")
    Welcome to the 3rd episode [no. 28] of Series 2 of the 'NoSoKoPo' and in this show we hear from Jay when he was in South Korea & in particular about his slightly restricted arrival in Incheon International Airport to his then arriving, a few hours later at his 'close to Ikseon-dong*' accomodation and therefore in the Jongno area of Seoul.

    Jay's somewhat "long, winding" journey - and 'long-winded' story to match - touches on everything from getting hold of a sim-card, transportation options, passing through immigration, luggage issues, money, masks and a whole lot more.

    It's worth pointing out that certain requirements or restrictions relating to travelling to South Korea will have changed since this was recorded (which was in the latter part of 2022) but much of what Jay has to say can still be applicable.

    *This was almost unbeknown to Jay [his precise proximity to the that hanok-ridden area (aka Ikseondong Hanok Village / 익선동 한옥거리)] and this was perhaps Jason's first experience of such Ikseon-dong streets. You may hear more about this in a future Not So Korean Podcast show -and perhaps as a kind of 'Part 2' of to this episode - if only to hear Jay's realisation of his very close proximity to Changdeokgung Palace (창덕궁) and Changgyeonggung Palace (창경궁)!

  • Ep 27 [S2]: Jay Left Tim (For Korea!); It Had Been An 'Emotional' Year + A 'KOREAN' GIFT!
    Welcome to the second episode [no. 27] of Series 2 of the 'NoSoKoPo' and in this show, we let you hear Jay and Tim's 'farewell chat', recorded just before Jason/Jay left for his few months in South Korea.

    The chat consisted of discussion about what or where the previous 12 months (& more than 25 epsiodes) had taken Jay and Tim and their lives in New Malden (aka KoreaTown UK), as well as vague plans whilst being apart and also what you lovely "Not So Korean Podcast" listeners may have to look forward to in future episodes.

    Tim & Jay also hint at future plans regarding a standalone YouTube channel and website [if you've heard epsiode 26 you'll know about these now - full details below too!] and Jason presented Timothy with a very apt gift, one which consisted of elements relating to 3 countries Tim has an interest in: Primarily though, South Korea and his native Canada, but also Thailand.

    [A huge thank you must go out to the collective behind - & friends of - the YouTube
    channel, “Retired Working For You”, especially Allan and Khun It…]

    It was a poignant and rather touching time, and just after Tim & Jay had set-off on their last [2022] bicyle ride together. In fact, a video overview of that day can be seen here: https://youtu.be/Kjy9o5FYVYA (on Jason Verney's channel) AND/OR via https://youtu.be/1mvpoIle-Js (the NEW channel for the Not So Korean Podcast)

    Welcome to Series 2 of the 'NoSoKoPo' and in episode 26, we bring you right up to date with what's been happening in Jay's life and in Tim's... ever since the end of Series 1 of the Not So Korean Podcast.

  • Ep. 25: TIM Interviews JAY (about his Korean-infused Drama film, "REPARATION") [+ KIFF / Kingston International Film Festival]
    In episode 25, we take a different angle by TIM interviewing JAY about his Korean-themed mid-length film drama, "REPARATION" and what it was like for the film to have been Officially Selected by the inaugural Kingston International Film Festival (KIFF), as well as what is next for this film, including its Korean Premiere coming up in South Korea.

    Jay also discusses how he assisted in getting the Korean language film by director Jules Suo, "SESANG" into KIFF 2022 as part of its Far East Asian Film strand.

    Other subjects include Jay's imminent trip to Korea, Eadweard Muybridge and the moving image and Jay's affinity with Kingston and of course Korea - The latter is elaborated on a recent episode of Jason Verney's other podcast series, "F.L.I.C.K.S." (also available on all good podcast and music platforms, as well as YouTube - here is a link to that episode on YT: https://youtu.be/YAynNN2777I

    In episode 24 we speak to Korean entrepreneur, Suji Sohn about how she came up with and grew the company which makes "SeoulBox", its almost humble beginnings in the UK and New Malden [K-Town UK] itself, and how each one of these internationally available boxes of Korean goodies, treats and snacks (and K-Pop/BTS items?!) is perfectly put together.

    Hosts Jay and Tim also unbox, right in front of your eyes (or ears if you listen rather than watch our shows) one of these 'SeoulBoxes' in the Kingston Environment Centre, which is based in Korea-Town UK [New Malden].

  • Episode 22: Jay, Tim & Eugene Kim (INTERVIEW With A Korean TRANSLATOR - Part Two)
    In this Episode 22 of the 'NoSoKoPo', we bring you PART TWO of Jay & Tim's interview with the multi-talented Eugene Kim - Eugene Kim is a translator, language tutor and more & she's someone we've both been acquainted with for some time, and whom Tim has collaborated with.

    In Part Two so much is discussed with Eugene and subjects include:

    Tips for anyone wanting to become a translator, whether computers (or A.I.) will ever completely take over from humans in the world of translation, how things may have changed or trends Eugene may have witnessed over time, the growing popularity of Korean literature and how fans of other aspects of Korean culture often get interested in novels and writing, and Eugene's words on motherhood.

    The subject of mental health is touched on too and we even chat briefly about Mind in Kingston. Lastly, Jay and Tim can't resist informing Eugene about their recent Korean reads, namely "To The Warm Horizon" by Choi Jin-young and "Grass" by Keum Suk Gendry-Kim.

    And if Colette Balmain and/or Darcy Paquet happen to listen to our podcast/s, they may catch Eugene and us speaking a little about them also!

    If you missed Part One, subjects covered include Eugene's experiences in the UK and Canada, her work with the magazine/online publication, "Nabillera", how Gothic literature has played a part in Ms Kim's work and working with the KCCUK's Korean Literature Nights as well as the book which Eugene and Tim worked on: "My Itchy Middle Finger" (손가락이 간질간질), by Kang Byoung Yoong.

    CORRECTION:

    A small but important piece of information provided in Part 1 [episode 21] was incorrect, and we mention this at the beginning of this new episode [ep. 22] - we have since corrected this for the audio version of the NoSoKoPo across all platforms, and for the video version we have edited the description to include details of this oversight, which is essentially this:

    In Part 1 of this interview, it was stated that "Nabillera" is from a poem by 정지용 (Jung Chi-yong). It is actually by 조지훈 (Cho Chi-hun).

    Finally - and perhaps to make up for that oversight - here is some additional information regarding that poem, which, as Eugene quite rightly states, is called "Sing-mu” (승무):

    It is also known as “The Nun's Dance", and this information (and more) can also be found on the Nabillera website's "About" section... Link is below.
